Reaches 30-homer plateau
Busch went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.
Analyse
Busch took Cincinnati starter Zack Littell deep in the third inning, giving him 30 homers in a season for the first time in his MLB career. The Chicago first baseman has been on a power surge lately, as he now has four long balls across his last eight games. Busch should remain a key offensive cog for the Cubs as they head into the playoffs, though he figures to remain on the bench when the team faces a lefty starter.

He's up to 29 long balls for the season, which is a new career best and tied for the team lead with Pete Crow-Armstrong.

Launches 28th home run Monday
Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.
Analyse
Busch is now riding a five-game hitting streak, and he's gone deep twice during the stretch. The Chicago first baseman has already set a new career high with 28 long balls this season. Busch has also tallied a career-best 79 RBI, and he's established himself as a reliable leadoff hitter against righties, as he's sporting a .267/.346/.517 slash line in those matchups.
